Cop crashes 3am 'Pokémon Go' meetup he mistook for drug deal

A late night-search for some Pokémon turned into a sticky situation with local law enforcement.

RedditorSlothOfDoom couldn't fall asleep no matter how many Mareeps he counted, so he decided to open up Pokémon Go and take a late-night stroll to a park to visit some Pokéstops in a nearby park.

He ended up running into two dudes he deemed "sketchy" at first, but they turned out to be fellow Pokémon trainers who tipped him off about where to find an Onyx. The new friends convinced SlothOfDoom to join the red team so that they could take hold of the neighborhood.

Ever since becoming available to download earlier this week, Pokémon Go has been occupying the time of every wannabe Pokémon trainer by making them walk around their city and draining their phone's battery .
